Violeta's obituary
It is with great sorrow and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved mother and grandmother Violeta. Violeta Pavlovica, age 68, resident of St Johns, FL passed away on April 11th, 2023, at the Community Hospice Anne and Donald McGraw Center for Caring, from a long-term terminal illness, surrounded by her beloved family.
She was born in Lithuania and lived most of her life in Latvia. She immigrated to the United States in 2015 to stay close to her daughter’s family. Violeta had a Master’s Degree in Chemical Engineering and enjoyed a 25-year long career as a Chief Chemical Engineer for a large food processing company in Latvia. She was preceded in death by her parents, Leonas Zhylinskas and Zofia Zhylinskiene, her husband Vadim Pavlovic, and her son Donatas Pavlovic. She is survived by her daughter Yurgita Vaidya (Rushi Patel), her grandsons Jacob Vaidya and Daniel Pavlovics, her sisters Vitalija and Lilija, along with nephews and nieces. Violeta had a selfless, caring, and optimistic nature, no matter what challenges life threw her way. Her greatest joy in her retirement years was spending time with the family, particularly with her grandson Jacob.
Violeta's passing is a great loss to her family and all those who knew her. She will be deeply missed, but her memory will live on through the countless lives she touched during her time on earth. May angels surround her, and saints welcome her in peace.
